Of course, only Qin Yue could hear what the little girl said to him.
The members of the squad did not know that the two of them had communicated directly through their minds.
Just as they hesitated, Ling Ru suddenly looked at Qin Yue and asked carefully.
“Qin Yue, we’ve been debating for a long time, but there’s no result. Why don’t you make the decision?”
As soon as she said that, Ling Ru seemed to be afraid that Qin Yue would misunderstand something, so she hurriedly added, “But don’t worry. No matter what decision you make, we will not oppose it.”
Tang Ling and the others beside Ling Ru also nodded.
“Little Brother Qin Yue, we’ll listen to your arrangements. There won’t be any disagreements.”
“Okay, Brother Qin Yue, go ahead and make a decision.”
“Me too,” added Wang Jun faintly.
From Qin Yue’s outstanding talent, killing the terrifying Three-headed Sandworm, to running into the interstellar pirates, he had displayed strong fighting ability and a calm mind throughout. That attitude had saved them several times in a row.
The members of the team were already completely convinced by Qin Yue.
Despite their differences, they treated him as their pillar of support so they inquired and sought Qin Yue’s opinion.
At the same time, he could not help but feel glad that forming a squad with Ling Ru and the rest was the right choice.
Qin Yue paused for a moment and said slowly, “Alright, let me think about it first! Meanwhile, all of you stay on guard. After all, we’re still in the desert. Danger might descend at any time. I will try to communicate with this little girl. We will make a decision when I find out more.”
Hearing Qin Yue’s reply, Ling Ru and the others nodded their heads faintly. Then, they returned to their mecha and stood guard.
After the few of them left, Qin Yue attempted to communicate with the little girl again with his mind.
“Little sister, were you talking to me?”
The little girl stared at Qin Yue with her big eyes and replied with her mind, “Hello, my name is Reina. I was communicating with you just now. Can you take me with you? As a reward, I’ll increase your Mental Strength.”
Although she communicated using only her mind, Qin Yue could still make out a hint of pity in the little girl’s tone.
However, Qin Yue was not a kind person. He would not agree just because of Little Reina’s pleading words.
Moreover, Qin Yue did not care about her offer to increase his Mental Strength that Reina mentioned, his current goal was to find out the identity of this little girl.
After all, how could a 15 to 16-year-old girl like her be able to change one’s Mental Strength?
Qin Yue looked at Reina’s eyes and asked curiously, “Little Sister Reina. Can you first tell me where you’re from?”
Reina looked at the man’s eyes and did not answer him directly. Instead, she hesitated for a moment before replying slowly, “I’ve been living in a very big battleship since I was young. I don’t remember everything.”
From the little girl’s evasive gaze, Qin Yue could tell that Reina was still wary of him.
However, he did not delve too deeply into it. Instead, he continued to voice out all the questions in his heart.
“Oh right, those five mecha just now were all Interstellar Pirates. Why were they so bold? If it was just to capture you, Interstellar Pirates would not behave so brazenly. What was the real reason they came after you?”
Those questions had already appeared in Qin Yue’s heart when he first saw the interstellar pirates. However, he did not have the time to think about them, so he temporarily put them in the back of his mind.
The moment he saw Reina’s figure, all sorts of new questions appeared in Qin Yue’s heart. However, Reina did not hesitate when faced with Qin Yue’s questions and answered at the first moment.
“Can I not choose to answer? Don’t worry, I’m not a spy, and I don’t pose a threat to any of you.”
Immediately after, Reina continued to use her mind to ask softly, “I can see your doubt. Brother Qin Yue, do you not believe that I can raise your Mental Strength?”
Qin Yue’s eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at the little girl in front of her.
From the beginning to the end, Qin Yue had not mentioned anything. There were not even any changes in his expression on his curiosity about her claim to be able to raise his Mental Strength.
It could be then be said that Reina, a seemingly innocent 15 to 16-year-old girl, was not who she seemed. As for where she was from, Qin Yue was not very clear on that either. After all, Reina was like a faraway cloud in Qin Yue’s eyes.
It was difficult to see clearly, which also made it difficult to figure out.
Just as Qin Yue pondered on her identity, the eyes of the little girl at the side suddenly focused, and an invisible energy suddenly shot into the space between Qin Yue’s brows.
Qin Yue immediately felt a wave of coolness suddenly drill into his mind and just like that, his Mental Strength had increased from 33 points to 35 points!
Following the increase in his Mental Strength, the fatigue from the two consecutive battles instantly disappeared.
Even the Mental Strength that he had exhausted had recovered.
What surprised him most was the moment his fatigue disappeared.
When such an obvious change occurred in his body, Qin Yue subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at Reina.
Reina, who had not smiled the entire time, suddenly smiled at him.
It was that smile that made Qin Yue even more certain that the increase in his mental energy was because of Reina!
The increase in mental energy had once again refreshed Qin Yue’s understanding of the universe.
Before this, Qin Yue had understood that one’s Mental Strength could only be strengthened and tempered through meditation as they absorbed a tiny amount of mental strength from an Alien Beast’s core!
Now, Reina had used an unknown method to increase his mental strength.
Moreover, the increase directly increased his mental strength by three points.
One had to know that if Qin Yue had tried to gain three points of mental strength through meditation, it would have taken a full two months.
Instead, it only took her the span of a few breaths.
At the same time, Qin Yue became more and more curious about the little girl’s identity but now was not the time to ask these questions.
After all, the longer she stayed there, the higher the risk of danger.
Qin Yue had already made up his mind.. After Reina showed him her special abilities, he had decided to take her back to the base!
